In fact no, ':' (ASCII code 0x3A) is before 'A' (0x41) and 'a'
(0x61). So the bug is probably related to the way I wrote the
code. Well, after thinking at it a little, the sorting in the GTK
interface is done by the GTK widget. So that might be a side effect of
the locale. Ok, I have checked this hypothesis by launching the client
with LANG=C in the environment, and this is indeed the case. So the good
news, we know why it behave that way. The bad news, I don't know how to
fix it.

One possible fix: could you try to put spaces to fill-up the part before
the column, (like "a :education")?

Best wishes,
d.
